The Canadian pop star said that he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome after a virus had damaged the nerves in his ear. He said he was suffering from a “quite serious” case in a video he posted on his Instagram page. The 28-year-old is currently on Justice’s tour of North America and has canceled shows in Toronto, Washington and New York. He said: “It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear to the nerves of my face and has made my face paralyzed. “As you can see, this eye does not blink. I can not smile on this side of my face. “This nostril will not move, so there is complete paralysis on this side of my face.” Allow Instagram Content?

The part of his world tour in North America is going to end in July. “Therefore, for those who are frustrated with my cancellations in the next performances, I am not physically, obviously I can not do them,” he said. “This is very serious as you can see.” “I wish it were not so, but obviously my body is telling me I need to slow down. “I hope you understand, and I will use this time to rest and relax and get back to 100% so I can do what I was born to do. But in the meantime, this is not it. “We do not know how much time will pass, but it will be okay, I have hope and I trust God. I think everything is for a reason. “I’m not sure what it is at the moment, but in the meantime I will rest.”
